For the Black Caps, this match is about more than just points; it is about redemption. In the 2024 edition of the tournament, Afghanistan famously bowled New Zealand out for just 75 runs, a result that ultimately led to the Kiwis’ early exit.

New Zealand enters this tournament following a challenging 4-1 series loss to India. However, the squad remains optimistic that the exposure to Indian conditions during that series has prepared them for the challenges of this World Cup. Afghanistan, conversely, arrives with momentum after a recent 2-1 series victory over the West Indies. ICC T20 World Cup 2026 Points Table With Net Run-Rate (NRR).
